In Java, I am trying to parse a string of format "###.##" to a float. The string should always have 2 decimal places.
Even if the String has value 123.00, the float should also be 123.00, not 123.0.
This is what I have so far:
System.out.println("string liters of petrol putting in preferences is " + stringLitersOfPetrol);
Float litersOfPetrol = Float.parseFloat(stringLitersOfPetrol);
DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat("0.00");
df.setMaximumFractionDigits(2);
litersOfPetrol = Float.parseFloat(df.format(litersOfPetrol));
System.out.println("liters of petrol before putting in editor: " + litersOfPetrol);
It prints:
string liters of petrol putting in preferences is 010.00
liters of petrol before putting in editor: 10.0
解决方案
This line is your problem:
litersOfPetrol = Float.parseFloat(df.format(litersOfPetrol));
There you formatted your float to string as you wanted, but but then that string got transformed again to a float, and then what you printed in stdout was your float that got a standard formatting. Take a look at this code
import java.text.DecimalFormat;
String stringLitersOfPetrol = "123.00";
System.out.println("string liters of petrol putting in preferences is "+stringLitersOfPetrol);
Float litersOfPetrol=Float.parseFloat(stringLitersOfPetrol);
DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat("0.00");
df.setMaximumFractionDigits(2);
stringLitersOfPetrol = df.format(litersOfPetrol);
System.out.println("liters of petrol before putting in editor : "+stringLitersOfPetrol);
And by the way, when you want to use decimals, forget the existence of double and float as others suggested and just use BigDecimal object, it will save you a lot of headache.
